The Inscrutable Question: Shreveport Postmortem: Review Expanded Translation of 2 Peter 1:1-11; Converting Assets into a Spiritual Reality
2 Peter 1:1 - (ETL) Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have attained a faith equal to ours by the virtue of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
v. 2 - May grace and prosperity be multiplied unto you in the sphere of the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
v. 3 - Since His divine power [ imputations at salvation for the execution of His plan ] has given to us all things unto life [ physical logistics ] and godliness [ eÙsšbeia, eusebeia: the spiritual logistics that develop piousness in the double-column advance ], through the knowledge of Him [ left column ] who called us [ election ] to His own glory [ maximum glorification of God ] and virtue [ from maximum reciprocal love motivation: right column ].
v. 4 - Through which things [ election to privileges and opportunities equally distributed to all believers ] He has given [ dramatic perfect of dwršomai, dōreomai: for a completed action in eternity past ] His most valuable and fantastic promises [ rewards and blessings associated with the advance ] in order that through these things [ utilization of the logistics and pious devotion to the mechanics of the double column advance ] we might become partners [ with Christ ] in the divine endowment [ conveyance of escrow blessings in time and eternity ], having escaped from the decadence of cosmos diabolicus [ by the new birth ] and the evil desires of the lust pattern [ by means of the new marriage ].
v. 5 - Now for this very reason, having made every effort, furnish or supply by means of your faith (1) humility, and with your humility (2) gnosis knowledge,
v. 6 - and with gnosis knowledge (3) self-discipline, and with self-discipline (4) stability, and with stability (5) piety [ motivation from reciprocity in the double column advance ];
v. 7 - and with piety (6) unconditional love toward your fellow believer and with unconditional love toward your fellow believer (7) virtue love [ unconditional love for all mankind, personal love for God, and occupation with Christ ].
The Magnificent Seven include (1) humility for teachability that enables (2) an objective analysis of gnosis doctrine that when believed produces (3) self-discipline for the advance, develops (4) the mental stability for the advance under the pressures of testing, stimulates (5) the motivation for the advance through piety or the reciprocal love of the right column, leads to sophisticated problem-solving through (6) unconditional love for your fellow believer, and maximizes at spiritual maturity with (7) virtue love toward all: unconditional love for all mankind, personal love or God, and occupation with Christ.
2 Peter 1:8 -	[ protasis ] For if these attributes in the chorus [ the Magnificent Seven ] are habitually yours and they keep on increasing through momentum, [ apodosis ] they will prevent you from being useless and inefficient or unproductive.
v. 9 - For he who does not have these attributes is blind and nearsighted, furthermore he has forgotten the cleansing from his former sins [ presalvation at regeneration & post-salvation at rebound ].
v. 10 - Therefore, fellow believers, be more motivated to make your efficacious grace and your election to privilege a spiritual reality [ at spiritual maturity associated with conveyance of the escrow deposit resulting in maximum glorification of God ]; for by doing these things that cause more motivation [ the Magnificent Seven ], you will never, ever stumble into prolonged carnality.
v. 11 -	 For in this manner, your entrance into the eternal kingdom [ evaluation throne of Christ ] of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied [ conveyance of escrow blessing for eternity at the presentation of the Nike Awards ].
